Read, Find and Think (Students’ Worksheet 1)
Dear Editor,
As I took part in the summer camp about personal life choices, I started to analyse my choices, especially what I did to relax and how it was affecting my whole life.
After starting high school, I felt stressed out and always relaxed by playing computer games. I got so absorbed that I played the games day and night. Playing was fun, but I felt even more worn out afterwards! So after the camp, I realised that it was very, very important to adjust my lifestyle. I decided to take control of my life and find other ways to relax.

It was a big struggle not to join my friends. In playing online games as I’m mad for them. However, I realised that to succeed in quitting. I had to replace it with something else. So I thought about what to try. Rock climbing, bowling, watching comedies, and playing basketball were the things I thought of doing instead.
Now my dad and I go rock climbing together monthly! It has enhanced the quality of my life, improving my health and increasing my happiness. I get refreshed through climbing, spend more time with my dad and get to meet new friends.

After six months of trying out new ways of relaxing. I feel much more energetic. I feel that I can change myself for the better. And if that’s true for me, then it might truly be possible to change the world for the better. As Gandhi said “Be the change you want to see in the world.”
Sincerely,
George Fielding

如何写好求助信
Dear Editor,
I was walking past a shop window the other day when I saw my reflection. At first, I didn’t realise it was me.
When I saw it was me, I felt sad as I was overweight. I didn’t realise how I looked, and now I really want to change. I really like eating, but I realise I eat too much, and I don’t eat good things.
I want to change because I want to be able to look at myself and feel happy with how I look. I also want to be healthy.
My plan is to change my diet and exercise regularly. I will stop eating sugar,and only eat at mealtimes rather than eating snacks during the day. I will focus on healthy foods. Then I will exercise every day. I will walk to school and back,and on the weekend, I will go swimming.
I have only been doing my plan for a week, but I’m already starting to feel better. I haven’t lost a lot of weight yet, but I feel positive. I feel confident that I will reach my goal!

Sample Writing
Dear Editor,
I would like to participate in your summer camp as it would be incredibly beneficial to help me analyse my life choices. My issues are multitudinous and complicated. Firstly, I have difficulty in waking up early. I’m always tired during the day and often feel worn out. This causes me to overeat and snack frequently. I am also constantly late and hence stressed under time pressure all day long. In the evening, I need to relax so I resort to the fallback of my iPhone to check messages and surf and shop online. I often lose track of time and fall asleep in the early hours of the morning with my phone.

Gain time to focus on my studies. And ultimately have a healthy work-life balance.
Hopefully, I can join you and find a better self.
